OK boys, just checking in to see who's going to be at the OH Conference in Orlando this weekend.  I just read on the schedule that Sandra Arioli (doesnt that last name have a pleasant ring to it?) is speaking and having a breakout session for men only titled "Men and Relationships".  She is a RN and a mental health councilor and the bariatric consultant here in Boynton Beach at Bethesda Hospital.  She is also associated with the Renfrew Center in Deerfield Beach, an eating disorder center.  I am really looking forward to meeting her, and hope there are many more guys attending. So I've got today off and I'm heading down to the Keys to bum around for the day.  Then tomorrow I hit the beach before heading to Orlando tomorrow afternoon after my wife gets off work.   Down to 188 pounds today and pretty much been holding steady +/- a couple pounds of 190 over the past month or so.  I think this is probably it for me as far as the weight loss and I couldnt be happier.  I am down approximately 240 pounds +/- in 13 months.  I have gone from a size 58 waist to a 34 waist and a 4X shirt to a large.  My hernia surgery is scheduled for 5/25, not looking forward to that but it'll be good to get that over with.  Just hope my summer isnt shot because of it. OK gang, hope to see you guys this weekend.  Be well.

You are a great example and inspiration of successful WLS John.  I appreciate your posts and contiuing to be out here for us rookies.  I'd love to tear out and see you in FLA but neither have the extra funds or free time.  Trying to get a shed built in my back yard and helping my briother and sister rennovate my mom's kitchen for Mother's Day before the summer swim team season kicks in and Dance recitals next weekend  (have three daughters; 1 in college (changing apartments this summer), 1 in high school, and 1 in middle school).  I am seldom bored. Hope you have a great conference and will post some of the enlighment with us more broke and farther out losers post conference.
